Transparency / Fort Worth launch funding plan
Every dollar.
A clear purpose.
A $15 million fundraising goal for our first mission in Fort Worth. These are planning allocations, not amounts already raised or spent.
Our goal is to cover first-year tuition for participating families while funding the campus, team, programming, equipment, and services needed to launch ILA. The opening and tuition-support goals depend on securing sufficient funding and finalizing the school’s arrangements.
